Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson had a sense of humor about his elevator mishap Wednesday.
“Everything has its up and downs, right?” Carson said about getting stuck in an elevator in Miami public housing complex.
“In this case the up-and-down part didn’t work too well,” joked David Webb, the host SiriusXM’s “The David Webb Show.”
“It was no big deal. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to all get to know each other a little better,” Carson responded.
Reporters at the scene tweeted video showing firefighters trying to free Carson and his wife from the elevator at Curtsied Family Apartments.
He was in the elevator for about 20 minutes, according to Rene Rodriguez, a reporter for the Miami Herald.
